Police officer faces charges for flashing at girl working at convenience store

CHIBA -- A police officer faces charges for flashing his private parts at a high school girl working at a convenience store here last weekend, officials said.

Chiba Prefectural Police are poised to send an investigation report to prosecutors, accusing the officer in his 20s of indecent exposure. He admitted to the allegations during questioning.

The officer exposed his private parts to the 17-year-old girl, who works at the convenience store, on its premises in Tako, Chiba Prefecture, on Saturday evening while he was off duty, the force's inspection office said.

Alerted by the store, local police launched an investigation into the case. Investigators tracked him down from the license plate number of the car he drove to the store.

公然わいせつ:警官が露出容疑…千葉県警、書類送検へ

 千葉県警の20代の男性警官がコンビニエンスストアで下半身を露出したとして、県警が公然わいせつ容疑で任意で事情聴取していることが2日分かった。県警はこの警官を書類送検する方針。

 県警監察官室によると警官は5月31日夕、同県多古町のコンビニエンスストアの敷地内で、アルバイト店員の女子高校生(17)に下半身を露出して見せた疑い。店外に出てきた女子高校生に「ごみ箱にごみを捨ててもいいか」などと尋ねた後、ズボンを下げた。事実関係を認めているという。

 店からの通報で県警香取署が捜査。来店時の車のナンバーなどを基に警官を割り出した。当時は非番で、これまで勤務態度に問題はなかったという。【寺田剛】
